Reise nach BERLIN

I'm trying to read 堂本剛・ベルリン, though it's hard since I can't read Japanese :|
Well, to enjoy the eyes of Tsuyoshi fashion, I'm glad I bought it xD

Some of the fashion related spots Tsuyoshi visited (where I'm sure he shopped too) at Berlin

日本人として。
堂本剛として。

Vocabulary:
言靈 (I can't find how to read this) at first I thought it supposed to be 言葉 (kotoba=words).  But it can't be wrong after I read the book myself. It's written as 言靈.  I found that 靈 translated as spirits.  Later on, according to this site (chinese term), it can be meaning as 「soul of language」、「spirit of language」、「power of language」、「power word」、「magic word」、「sacred sound」。I think it's make sense(?)
仕事 (shigoto) = work
考 (kanga.e) = think, consider
命 (inochi) = life
全 (mattaku) = full, whole

I wish someone would like to translate the article and the interview...
I wonder Tsuyoshi, why Berlin?

Another married couple^^'

I recently found out from tokyograph. Apparently Ichikawa Ebizo has registered their marriage last month (the announcement was made around November 2009) with FujiTV newscaster, Kobayashi Mao.

I knew her from News Zero, and I saw her with her senpai at the agency, Megumi Oishii in a variety show long ago.
Here are the preview on her announcement of her marriage and that she will leave her post at News Zero. Also the clip on Ebizo appearance at News Zero (27 December 2008).


The press conference (29 January 2010) are here 1, here 2, and here 3.  The wedding will be held on July.
Gosh, to see them together, I still hardly believe it.  Mao looks so innocent^^'. I hope Ebizo will end his playboy side for good xD

To know that the two met at her show, News Zero, just reminds me of how hyde met Megumi xD

As now we all knew, Ebizo is also Tsuyoshi senpai, as they both went on the famous celebrity "Horikoshi" school (shoujiki shindoi episode ).

The wedding photos...

初版残りわずか！

打ち合わせを重ねて、最終的に決定したのはこちら！
剛さん自身によるデザイン画です。
これを元に立体のサンプルを作っていきます。
仕上がりをお楽しみに！

締め切りは 5 月 15 日（土曜日）!
たくさんのご応募お待ちしています。

A pendant? for a necklace? or just a bookmark? how big? It's 3 dimensional for sure.
I guess it will come with sending the postcard inside the book? I don't think it will work for overseas :(  or should I try?  The date line is May 15th.
I need someone to translate all this x)

SHAMANIPPON, the new Tsuyoshi serialization column in BARFOUT

Just looked at the newest Tsuyoshi photos at BARFOUT magazine May edition at pinkrain24451.
He has a new serialization project and brought along the live painting artist Oikawa Keeda (uh, I like her paints~) and Etou Steve, the percussion of ENDLI' Band. This May edition will be the first volume.
There's a word put in the article, 「SHAMANIPPON」. That's the title of the column I suppose.
I wonder it has related with shaman-ism, because I don't think Tsuyoshi is one.  But it might just the use of the term, and it can be refer to as term referencing a range of beliefs and practices regarding communication with Nippon, the country. Who knows? Let's wait for someone who kindly translate the article for non-Japanese reader here xD
According to the term of shaman music, no wonder he collaborate with Steve-san.
I wonder those who will attend the concert at Asuka will see this SHAMANIPPON.

Berlin Book is here!

Last night I've checked the status order and it's written 'In Shipping Process'.
But, just now, our office girl gave me a package from CdJapan. I was like eeehh???

I checked the status and it's still written as this:

And the notification email from them just received by now, saying that they shipped the package by today.
I even get the package before I received the notification. Did they asked Harry Potter to do this?
Ah well, I'm glad it's arrived earlier than expected and safely unopened by the custom xD


The book surprisingly lighter though the thickness is about 1.5 cm.
I took a glimpse (I'm at work). I just realized.. Just like the previous release, but this time Berlin Book contained recollection from the early editions on PS Magazines from 2005, vol.001.
I like the kind of paper for this book. It's not shiny art paper for sure, but something dove. Recycle paper?
Back to work~ 
2450?

He looks handsome..

Then it's hanging inside the Enoden.


Before that, while waiting for the train, Tsuyoshi met a young girl and kindly talked to her friend in her phone cell.
